A coon is a black actor or actress, who takes roles that stereotypically portrays black people. They think theyve made it but they are slaves to the same images. A.k.a sellout It comes from the term baracoons (a cage), where they used to place Africans, who were waiting to be sent to America to be slaves. They had no idea of this, so some of them were even eager waiting in the baracoons.

Black guy on commercial or in movie: Woo wee! Boy do I love me some chicken, where da Koolaid at?

Derogatory term for black people. Similar to "nigger." Originally a shortened form of the word "raccoon," used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and noctural habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thiefs. The stereotype was then applied to black people.

A "Coon" is an offensive word for a black person. Simaler to other words such as "nigger, spear-chucker, porch monkey, bubble-lip, blue gum, tar baby, moon cricket" and not to mention the other dozens of silly slurs.

As the old song goes....."If ya smell something funny when ya walk down the street your in 'coon' town, you look and see garbage all over the street your in 'coon' town...." and so on with it's repedative slurs.
